Borrowing from Yale School of Management, we call this new approach the raw case method of learning. Unlike a traditional case study, a raw case is not confined in print or pages of a narrative about a challenging international business situation. It is an open, real-time information space through which case study students may wander. But it also…

This paper explores how Problem-oriented Project Learning (PPL) can be organized in a context that meets the pedagogical needs of first year students. Under the assumption that, while PPL provides a fruitful context for learning, it is also challenging for early stage learners, the article formulates the theoretical considerations underlying a…

Students involved in two separate travel study programs consented to participate in a mixed-methods research approach examining the effects of an experiential learning course offered to criminal justice and forensic science students. The course exposed students to handson criminal investigations involving human body decomposition and osteology.…

The Sales Rock! project adds to the growing literature on the importance of experiential learning in higher education. The authors utilize one-sample "t" tests (M > 3.0) of undergraduate students (N = 42) along four processes of learning under the transformative learning scale. The transformative learning theory includes four…

This qualitative case study explores the transformative impact of an off-campus US-based experiential education program on female students.

We examine the benefits of developing critically reflexive learners through life story performance embedded in a Critical Reflexive Model. Students are invited to work with their life stories in a safe, dialogical space and to deconstruct various forms of power and its influence on their lives. Using a mix of creative and embodied methodologies,…

The argument vouches for a critical pedagogy that pursues a visual politics for experiential and potentially transformative learning about…

While technology is prevalent in American classrooms, meaningful technology integration remains an issue, indicating a lack of effective professional development. Unlike the typical workshop model, professional learning communities (PLCs) utilize teacher-centered approaches to professional development. Kolb's experiential learning theory,…

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the advantages of combining place-as-text curriculum with an oral history collection to act as catalysts for transformational learning. These experiential and service learning practices complement each other to enrich the encounters students are afforded. First, the nature and procedures of place-as-text and…

Virtual and online learning arrived through a "force majeure" (French for "superior force"), the global COVID-19 pandemic.
